Cardigans, Parades and sunburn !

harlow. this is terry the big lobster reporting.

yes i have sunburn now. My face and hands sibei red lor. Why parade lor.

Let's tok about this week. It was nuthin much lor we know got rehersal. At first we go ETI parade square and learn marching. then next day was marching at Nee Soon Camp Parade square.

Then friday was at marina bay. The most interesting was this rehersal. We reach there quite early in the morning. Yes civilian world i really juz lurve it. We were quickly tasked place to sit. We sat the spectator seats lor. The whole place was not really ready yet some place still had construction going on but the spectator setas, bridge and stage and some indoor facilities was ready liao.

So anyway after a few rehersals we were given a shadier place to sit becos the spectator seats no shelter one de. not to mention even grandstand also dun have.

So we go under shelter lor. found a place to slack. me and my friend found a really nice place got wind one. then we took some extra bricks and made it comfortable to sit on and we lean back on the wall. on top of the bricks we put cardboard so as not to get our pants dirty. then we relac there lor.

Btw if u think i am rehearsing for NDP right? You're Wrong.

We are rehearsing for Engineer's Parade. They decided to held it at the floating stage was test the floating stage lor. It will be used for NDP this year and for another 5 more years before the new stadium gets erected. And somemore the stage was designed by Army's Combat Enigneers so we first to try is like we deserved to cuz we design one.

Anyway no one has gone there to march b4 and we are the first ones. Even NDP rehearsal hasn't even been conducted at the floating stage yet. will conduct after us.

Oh yea then got military band then got one of the songs which is when they march in then very nice. then my friend tell my other friend and me. then my other friend said he got a website to download the military songs de. then my friend said izzit then kept asking my other friend for the website.

Then my other friend kept dun wan tell. then i said I know. Then he asked u know ah? tell leh!

Then i said the website is www.mai-ka-lee-gong.com.sg LOL~ then he was like -.- then we all laugh non stop.

Lol can say marching was very tiring. it was hot and u have to stand there very long. but i enjoyed it.

Anyway we all was red from the sun burn. too bad hor we not marching in No.1 uniform if not wah swee lah sure take camera take picture de.

Feel like taking pictures but too bad we cannot bring. alot of things cannot bring lor. anything that can hurt someone. becos some minister is coming.

and during parade i kept never wear glasses. i remember my friend wear then he got spectacle mark on his face afterwards lol. good thing i never wear i kept it if not later i also like him.

Then friday reach camp, it was a very rushed book out for us. Then reach home wah saw my face really red. when bath in camp and at home wah when especially when i put on facial wash. When i rub my face the whole face so painful.

Saturday.

Had actually wanted to go out with mj but she informed me earlier during the week she has something on. so we had to postponed to 28. read from her blog she bought a present for me. very surprised and touched she went to buy a present where i that time juz joking send her a sms saying about buying me a present..

I haven't got a present in ages. not counting the recent ring from my bro. the only and last one was during ITE where min and bon bought that black with pink design t-shirt for me.

So i am gonna meet her on 28th and we'll celebrate my birthday. lol although abit late but it's the sincerity that counts and i will be looking forward to it.

21st april was ky's birthday and i had wished him happy birthday the night before. i was on msn with him then juz nice 11.45 so during at 12 midnight i said to him in msn from suddenly a relax conversation i wrote I have to tell u something.

then he asked wad? then i said Happy Birthday. Lol. lame yes but at least i got say wad.

Then ask him go out next day since i long time no see him and i had no plans le.

So i was slacking around until around nearing the time to meet him he said he not free. oh well.

So what did i do with my precious saturday? I did something which i never did in a long long time on saturday.

SLACK! Sleep, eat, bath, watch tv, computer surfing abit, psp sleep somemore.

Slept after i recieved ky sms that he didn't want to go out le cuz he got something on. Slept until 5pm then woke up. go bath cuz hot. At night my bro bought a lot of food and after eating tok to him lor. My sis-in-laws said we both tok until forget to eat.

Then jiu watch tv together then my bro leave with sis-in-law then i watch tv. then go sleep quite early. duno why. nv do anything also tired.

Sunday

KK ask me to accompany him go buy presents. Kk knew what to buy for his friend a guy so i didn't need to help much.. kk wanted to buy him a hat but he didn't know if it will suit the guy. when he choose t-shirt i was ok with it since i see all the levis t-shirts all quite ok so leave it to him to choose for his friend. the was guy levis freak so it was easy for kk to decide. budget is 40 dollars so he could only get a t-shirt.

While kk was buying the t-shirt...I went to ask the store assistant if i could try the copper edition. they dun have slim fit but had carrot fit and regular straight nia. They had hong kong brochures and the person advertising is edison chen. Looks really nice but i duno wear how lor.

So i took one and go try. i took the carrot fit.. the thigh area is ok normal but the end was tapered and quite tight. no wonder the 8 days magazine said this is slim fit kind of jeans. anyway i took the size which is shown on my levis jeans which i was wearing. but the waist area on this new copper edition carrot fit jeans was very loose. i see the number same leh but how come so different. i think is the cutting bah. maybe.

tried and didn't really like the carrot fit so came out and kk just finished buying. me tried and didnt like so the store assistant ask how? i said too big on the waist. then she ask wanna try one with a smaller waist i said no. nah ... then i quickly left with kk.

Next was lunch. everywhere was so crowded. then he had buy a girl's present. then i said u should try and look around. the usual for girls would be accessories. maybe bag, braclet, necklace, anklet, sunglasses? lol i even gave the whacky idea how about bra? LOL it was a joke ok.

then he still duno what to buy so we walk around. he wanted to buy magnets from centrepoint but i really dislike the idea. i told him and it really bothered me cuz i didn't feel the magnets was really a nice present. Although not my friend but i find u can't juz anyhow buy wad. could tell he didn't like me disliking the idea but i had to be honest. the magnets aren't really practical or present material.

Well kk had his reasons for choosing the magnets. He gaved his points on why he chose but still i really didn't like and through out the whole trip i kept telling him. well finally he did ask the girl what she wanted. and she said vouchers. then i was like ahhhh finally we got something more practical. Better than the magnets. but wad kind. she sms him books? then ahh even better.

Then kk suggested boarders and so we went boarders. Got different design de. Chose the design and kk said he wanna custom it but the assistant went huh? then ok we get idea we can't. The voucher is a card form like a credit card liddat. juz like topshop liddat.

After buying we went walking around at boarders awhile more then i saw starbucks. had to really go buy one and drink. i think i am addicted lol. but of course i think this is juz zhan shi only.

Left for home and here i am. later going back. Tml more marching at marina bay. Then surely at night the esplande and the merlion side sure alot of people watch from far. see free show.

then tuesday is the actual parade. wednesday OFF !! thurs and friday heard is off also. if thurs and fri is also off then wah i can dun go back camp all the way until 2nd of may.


now miss singapore universe. got one she won a small prize. Miss Body Beautiful. then she won 1000 dollar triump vouchers. then i was like what can u buy with that voucher? lingere only lor. lol..

at least another one win food and dining voucher much better. can eat and dine.

now for some depressing part.

after parade rehersal, my PS came over and said i would be promoted to corporal. then i said okay lor.

Then he said "Wah promote u ... u juz say okay lor.... sound so like very kena forced liddat."
Then i was thinking in my head " what u wan me to do ? jump up and scream and kiss u sibo ?" then i juz said no lah of course happy lah but now too tired to show. he juz said this and left cuz usually he won't have much to speak to me de.

then me and my friend was toking about how not socialable we are. i told him i am not the kind of person who socialize alot then he was saying he is also a non-sociable person which i find only abit true lah cuz always is people come find him tok and not he go find people.

And yes i know i am not the kind to go social de. my social skills are really suxy. people dun really wanna come to tok to me on their own accord. this is what i feel. i feel i am really too boring. seriously i sometimes envy some people.they could be toking non stop... their topics are endless. they could entertain the other party with endless topics. or even better those who are really good at socializing people automatically will come to tok to them . they dun even need to find people to social.

although i know it could be taxing cuz if many wanna tok to u at same time it would be hard for u to entertain all at one time. which i dun like this fact. but i sure would like to able to strike a conversation easily with almost anyone and not having long pauses in between conversations sometimes.

sure some very popular people may say that this is what they rather not have and hope can be like left alone. but seriously i dun wan to be popular. I dun wan the ability to social juz to have alot of friends. I wan the ability to juz tok and not run out of topics during conversations. i juz wan to be able to socialize easily when i want to and not have pauses or run out of topics in between conversations.

i duno why i am feeling this but i juz feel lor. maybe it's loneliness. maybe i juz need company.

not that i dun like the situation now... cuz i rather i concentrate on entertaining a few friends like my sec sch friends, ite friends, a few army friends... rather than having tons of friends but duno which one are my real ones. i juz wanna to be able to not run out of topics during conversations that's all. is it really that hard?

Seriously i dun want to be popular. i dun wan them to come automatically to come tok to me. the very least i wan is to able to tok to them without pauses.

haiz. i duno.
